efficacy of lenalidomide maintenance in primary central nervous system lymphoma and primary vitreoretinal lymphoma: a phase ii, open-label, single-arm study

Conditions: Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma and Primary Vitreoretinal Lymphoma

Summary: therefore, we intend to conduct a phase ii study to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance therapy with lenalidomide as the maintenance therapy for patients with pcnsl or pvrl who have achieved cr or partial response after hd-mtx-based induction therapy followed by reduced-dose wbrt.twentypatients with pcnsl or pvrl will be recruited. the primary outcome is 2-year progression-free survival from the first date of reduced-dose wbrt. besides, the safety and the incidence of cute and late neurotoxicity related to reduced-dose wbrt, the single nucleotide polymorphism assay,and the clinical applications of plasma and csf circulating tumor dna and csf lactate level will be investigated.


Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. those who have been diagnosed with histopathological- or csf/vitreous fluid flow cytometry- confirmedpcnsl/pvrl, dlbcl subtype and who are above 18 years of age. 2. those who have completed standard hd-mtx-based remission induction chemotherapy followed by reduced-dose wbrt and reached a cr or pr 3. patients must be able to tolerate mri scans and lumbar punctures and/or ommaya taps. 4. with sufficient organ and bone marrow function, and no severe hematopoietic, heart, lung, liver, kidney, thyroid dysfunction, and immune deficiency 5. ecog ps 0-2 6. those who can take oral medication 7. written informed consent under institutional guidelines. 8. female patients of child-bearing potential (fcbp) must have two negative pregnancy tests (sensitivity of at least 25 miu/ml) prior to starting lenalidomide. the first pregnancy test must be performed within 10 to 14 days prior to the start of lenalidomide, and the second pregnancy test must be performed within 24 hours prior to the start of lenalidomide 9. effective method of contraception should be used during and for 28 days following the last dose of the drug 10. male patients must use an effective barrier method of contraception during study and 28 days following the last dose if sexually active with a fcbp exclusion criteria: 1. patients who are planned to undergo auto-sct after induction chemotherapy 2. disease involving extra-cnsat the time of initial diagnosis 3. previous treatment with lenalidomide or wbrt 4. active congestive heart failure (new york heart association \[nyha\] class iii to iv), symptomatic ischemia, or conduction abnormalities uncontrolled by conventional intervention. myocardial infarction within six months prior to 1st day of 1st cycle 5. acute active infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antiviral (except antiviral therapy directed at hepatitis b) or antifungal agents 6. known human immunodeficiency (hiv) seropositive 7. those who are unable to take oral medication or unable to take antiplatelet therapy for the purpose of thromboembolism prevention. 8. patients with a history of malignant tumors other than the target diseases except for the following cases oif the tumor has not been treated for at least 5 years or is disease-free opatients at least 1 year after complete resection of basal cell carcinoma / squamous cell carcinoma or successful treatment of cervical epithelial cancer 9. adverse reactions within 30 days prior to screening severe gastrointestinal bleeding exceeding grade 2 according to the common terms criteria 4.03 version criteria 10. occurrence of blood clots or embolism within 6 months before starting screening 11. patients with hypersensitivity to this drug and other ingredients of this drug (e.g., angioedema, stevens-jones syndrome, toxic epidermal necrosis, etc.) 12. female patients who are pregnant or lactating 13. the patient is unwell or unable to participate in all required study evaluations and procedures.
